I thought this might be an interesting read for some of you =). The article, for those of you who tl;dr, is mainly about the creation of SmashCraft Heroes, a video gaming club on the Princeton campus. We've gotten some really positive responses, and I think eSports is definitely starting to get somewhere in colleges around North America.

Also, check out azndsh's CJ SHIRT WHAT. Also, I touched it.

They also hope to bring more gender and racial diversity into an activity whose demographics are “usually skewed to Asian boys,” Zhang said. The executive board consists of nine Asian males and one Asian female (Zhang), but the group now has four non-Asian members and two other girls. The club’s leaders say that the problem is not in recruiting a more diverse crowd but rather that certain demographics are linked to certain activities.

haha

The latter part of that statement is really hard.

Well, atleast the article was done rather knowledgeably and they did their research. I can imagine them reporting about "StarWars: Bruce Lee" or something.
